Solving style vs the field
Compared against 12287 reconstructed solves by 451 tracked solvers.
Average moves per stage
| them | field | Δ | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cross | 9.3 | 11.4 | -2.1 |
| F2L | 33.7 | 29 | +4.7 |
| OLL | 8.3 | 11.9 | -3.6 |
| PLL | 15.3 | 13.1 | +2.2 |
| Full solve | 66.7 | 65.5 | +1.2 |
Move tokens per reconstructed solve, split by stage - fewer than the field means a more move-efficient stage.
Techniques used
| solves | them | field | |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLS | 15 | 22.4% | 3.7% |
| ZBLS | 9 | 13.4% | 18.1% |

Share of solves using each last-slot / last-layer technique, vs the share across all tracked solves.
Algorithm choices
| mainstream | field | differing cases | |
|---|---|---|---|
| OLL | 57% | 58% | 15/31 |
| PLL | 60% | 59% | 6/17 |
"Mainstream" = share of their executions using the field's most common alg for that case. A lower number than the field average means a more unusual alg sheet.
OLL algorithms
49 recognized executions · 57% done with the field's most common alg for the case (field average 58%) · go-to alg differs from the field's on 15 of 31 cases
